Come and discover the modern architecture of the Hôtel de Ville de Créteil, inaugurated in 1974 to welcome the services of the city that became the head of the department. Designed by the architect Pierre Dufau, the original silhouette of this building is a true technical feat to raise an eleven-storey tower on former sand quarries. Sign up to learn more about one of the first buildings built in the Nouveau Créteil program.
During this guided tour, you will be able to access the council room and the wedding hall decorated by Michel Boyer in a characteristic style of the thirty glorious. You can also discover the office of the Mayor and enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the city from the rooftop terrace (subject to availability)!

Île-de-France

Built between 1972 and 1974, the City Hall is the work of the architect Pierre Dufau, also chief architect of the «Nouveau Créteil». Having become the capital of the Val-de-Marne department, Créteil acquired a town hall adapted to the development of its services. The first meeting of the city council in this new building was held on December 5, 1974\. The City Hall consists of two elements: a tower of 11 floors, measuring 75 m high, housing the main administrative services, and a large cylinder of 4 levels intended for the reception of the public. As the nature of the basement (former sand quarries) did not allow for the construction of foundations, the architect chose to build the building according to the principle of suspension. The tower rests on a single central support, whose stakes descend very deeply into the earth. At the top of the tower, 10 concrete branches each have a metal suspension to which, on each floor, is attached the metal framework of the concrete floor.
